Reviews

ENDORSEMENTS “At once dashing and cerebral, Flaxman Low is a supernatural Sherlock Holmes investigating the surreal and impossible, created by a mother and son duo who themselves seem to have come from a pulp story. Great to see these stories in a new edition!” —Daniel Polansky, author of the Low Town book series “New, disgusting, delightful thrills.” —The Outlook (1899)


Author Information

E. and H. Heron was a collective pseudonym used by the English writers Hesketh Prichard (1876-1922) and his mother, Kate O'Brien Ryall Prichard (1851-1935). ""Hex"" was an explorer, cricketer, naturalist, soldier, and travel writer. Kate, also an intrepid globetrotter, voyaged with her son to many remote locations; Rio Caterina, in Patagonia, is named after her. In addition to creating Flaxman Low, one of the first modern occult detectives in fiction, the duo wrote stories about Captain Rallywood and Don Q. Alexander B. Joy earned a PhD in Comparative Literature from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He is the author of Legend of the River King.
